“I said, call the police. Are you deaf?” the manager hollered. He whipped his phone out to dial the number. “Useless bunch of fools! I have to do this myself...”
Before he could finish, a slender arm shot out to grab his phone. An icy voice rang out, “The universal emergency number is 911.”
“I know...” the manager replied before turning at this shoulder.
He froze at the sight that greeted him.
The young man was standing right behind him, dialing the number 911 on his phone!
“911, what's your emergency?”
As the dispatcher's voice rang out, the young man handed the phone to the manager. Arching a brow, he gestured for the manager to answer.
The manager's face turned colorless as his entire being trembled. All words died in his throat.
“Why are you silent? Didn't you want to call the police?” The young man raised his brows. “Speak.”
“T-That's not necessary...” the manager stammered. He grabbed the phone hastily and said, “Wrong number,” before hanging up without hesitation.
“If it's something serious, call the police. Don't be scared.” The young man patted his shoulder and gave words of encouragement. “I'm here to pick up my stuff. Excuse me.”

The young man carried the cleaver on his shoulders and marched away.
The others went pale with fright.
